From the Huffington Post:
More than 27 billion gallons of untreated sewage and polluted wastewater spill into New York Harbor every year, often after as little as one-tenth of an inch of rain overloads the city's antiquated plumbing system that combines waste from homes and businesses with normal stormwater. What's more, the public is often left unaware of these sewer overflows, and sight or smell is not always enough to decipher water quality.
"This is a sleeper issue that the public assumed was solved 20 years ago," Judith Enck, regional administrator for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 in New York City, told The Huffington Post. "Larger volumes of sewage, a crumbing infrastructure and heavier rains have created the perfect storm."

Don't shit when it's rainin'
Republican's answer: Abolish the EPA.
In the ideal conservative's world, not only would there be no agency to protect the environment, but you wouldn't even be given the info to protect yourself.
Waving flags -Patriotic pride...Shit in out water supply.
I go with the flow!
So ya wanna prevent poop overflow?
Seal up
the doors and windows of city hall and be sure to stuff a cork in speaker Quinn's.....uh.....mouth!
Some simple arithmetic for you, Comptroller Liu:
i.e.
When builders, like your cousin Tommy Huang, continue putting up 6 family structures where single family homes once stood....what does it all add up to?
It means more asses on more bowls....dumping more effluent into the city's rivers.
NYC is rapidly becoming a turd world nation.
We're still waiting to see if Liu & Stavisky will keep their promise to kyack together in the Flushing River.
Phew!
Maybe Toby Ann already skinny dips there....accounting for her "fragrance".
ABOLISH BLOOMBERG!
When owners concrete their front yards and make parking spots on the lawn where do you think the rain water goes ? That's right, into the city storm water pipes instead of the ground.
If you're not super rich, your standard of living in NYC will be close to that of a third-world country.

Why is City Council adding more people to our neighborhoods when the current infrastructure cannot handle this.
Answer: because you don't even ask them let alone do anything to stop it, morons.
